Running on a treadmill for 24 straight hours sounds more than a little mind-numbing, but when one Norwegian man did just that, he loved every minute of it.Bjørn Tore Kronen Taranger, 39, ran for 24 straight hours on a treadmill starting Oct. 11 at the Aktiv365 Paradis in Bergen, Norway. He set out to raise money for kids at the Haukeland University Hospital in Bergen, Norway and managed to bring in over $12,000. His secondary goal? To break the Guinness World Record for furthest distance run on a treadmill in 24 hours by a male, which was previously 261.18K, roughly 162 miles.맥스카지노�I wanted to do it for all the kids that cannot walk, have heart failure, cancer and more 맥스카지노�for all the kids that cannot do what I can,맥스카지노� Taranger said in an email to Runner맥스카지노�s World.Friends and family came out to support Taranger and celebrities ran alongside him in shifts.

In order to run his final distance of 264.52K, and beat the current record, Taranger said he put the treadmill at a 6.9 mph pace and stayed there throughout the duration.
